Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

The True-Sight Lens[edit]

Speak to Votary Nahlia near the Scribing Altar. You can ask about the Order of the Lamp and the Mages Guild members she plans to bring to the Scholarium if the Votary Commander agrees, and she will instruct you to speak with the Crow to find out more about Scribing.

The Crow can be found perched atop a podium outside the door to the Wing of the Indrik on the lower floor of the Scholarium Main Hall. She tells you Ulfsild left behind notes and echoes (illusions) to guide you in the process of regaining the cooperation of the Luminaries.

Speak to the Echo of Introduction by activating the purple orb floating above a small podium just south of where you spoke to the Crow. An illusion of Ulfsild will appear and tell you find the True-Sight Lens in the east wing. Speak to the echo if you want to hear the instructions again.

Go to the Scholarium East Wing and into the room with the fireplace. Take the True-Sight Lens from another small podium by the western wall. The sparkling lens will be removed from the podium and another purple orb will take its place. You can activate it to listen to the Echo of the Lens tell you that the lens will allow you to see magic the way Ulfsild saw it, including signposts left by the Luminaries. If you speak to the echo, it will also tell you to seek out the Indrik Luminary first.

Return to the Crow in the Scholarium Main Hall near the Indrik's door for an explanation of how the lens works. Basically, having the lens will allow you to see focal points, impressions left by the Luminaries. Standing in a focal point and using the True-Sight Lens will reveal hidden magic. The Crow instructs you to test the lens on a fable.

A Focal Point

The Fable of the Indrik is on a small table to the right of the Crow, near the Netch's door. Read it and then turn around. On the floor in front of you, you should see a smoky purple circle that represents a Focal Point. Walk into it and get a view through the lens to activate a temporary True-Sight buff indicated by purple magic around the edges of the screen. Walk back to the fable and read it again. Notice that you can now see red annotations added by Ulfsild.

Opening the Door[edit]

Based on Ulfsild's annotations, the fable takes place in Auridon. Speak to the Crow again to confirm that's where you are headed. The Crow says she will meet you at the Lady standing stone to be your guide. You can ask follow-up questions about the Luminaries' fables and their connection to the Scribing Altar.

One way to reach Auridon is to head back upstairs and through the door to the Guild Portal Hub room. Ahead and to the right will be a Portal to Auridon. Taking it will drop you off outside the Mages Guild in Vulkel Guard. From there, go northeast past the wayshrine out of the city, and then head north and slightly west to reach the Lady Mundus Stone.

As you approach, the Crow will perch on a small bridge nearby. Talk to her, and she will explain that you need to find three pieces of a key to a door to the domain of the Luminary. She will call out additional instructions as you work through the steps.

A hidden ward revealed

There are three focal points surrounding the Lady—one to the east, one to the southwest, and one on the bridge to the north. Start by entering one of the focal points and using the True-Sight Lens. This will activate the True-Sight buff for 30 seconds, which will allow you to see a Ward of the Indrik nearby. (You can actually see all three wards since they are in close proximity to one another.) When you approach a ward, you will be able to dispel it from a short distance. If the buff wears off, you just repeat the step of entering a focal point and using the lens to regain it.

Once you have dispelled the final ward, the first Fragment of the Indrik's Key will be revealed on the shore, hovering and emanating magic. An image of the Crow will be flying in circles above it. Take the key fragment and speak to the Crow who has landed nearby to hear about the next steps. She also says she will return to the Scholarium at this point as you are meant to finish these steps alone, but she reminds you that you still have Ulfsild's annotations to guide you. You can read the annotated fable again at any point by using it in the Quest Items tab of your inventory.

The second key fragment can be found in the ruins of Ondil, a delve that lies to the north of the Lady, west of Phaer. Make your way there, and enter the delve. You will hear the Crow encouraging you as you reach the location. You will need to repeat the process of finding and entering a Focal Point, using the True-Sight Lens to locate a ward, and dispelling the Ward of the Indrik three times in order to locate the key fragment.

The three wards are in the large room in the west of the map. There is a focal point at the top of the stairs leading down into the room from the south, and the ward can be seen on the column in the center of the room. There is another focal point at the bottom of the stairs that turn west, and the ward can be seen above a light on the western wall. There is another focal point in the southeast corner of the room, and the ward can be seen on the wall under an arch near the northern staircase. The second Fragment of the Indrik's Key will be revealed on the northern staircase's landing. Take it and exit the delve.

The third key fragment can be found on Buraniim Isle off the coast west of Mathiisen. Make your way there. You will hear the Crow encouraging you as you reach the location. The three focal points surround an Ayleid Aetherial Well near the center of the isle. There is a ward near the arch to the northwest of the well, a ward on the broken wall to the east of the well, and a ward on the tall wall near the tree to the south of the well. After dispelling all three wards, the third and final fragment of the Indrik's Key will be revealed near the well. Take it, and the fragments in your inventory will form the Reforged Indrik Key.

A hidden door revealed

The Indrik's Door can be found on the isle of the South Beacon lighthouse on the southwestern coast. Make your way there. You will hear the Crow encouraging you as you reach the location. Head up to the lighthouse from the north side of the isle. The focal point will be to the right of the lighthouse door. Use the True-Sight Lens while standing in it to watch the key reveal a door to the Wing of the Indrik a short distance to the west. Enter the door.

The Indrik's Challenges[edit]

The door will take you to the pocket domain of the Indrik. As you approach the platform before you, the Indrik will appear to your left, teleport to the platform, and greet you. Talk to the Indrik and answer whether or not you deserve the power of Scribing. (All answers will continue the quest.) The Indrik will ask you to place his fable on the Fable Dais near the door in order to reconnect his domain to the Scholarium. When you have done so, speak with him again.

The Indrik talks about the meaning of power and proposes you complete two challenges so he might know what power means to you. You can also ask more about the challenges, Scribing, this domain, and the Luminaries. There will be a scroll floating next to the Indrik when you finish the conversation. Take it to read about four possible challenges you may choose to complete. The scroll can then be re-read from your inventory any time while you work on completing the challenges. Exit through the door to the Scholarium. Don't forget to use the Guild Portal Hub for easy travel.

You must complete any two out of the four challenges below.

When you have completed two of the challenges, return to the Scholarium via any wayshrine. (The Scholarium Wayshrine can be found on the map by first navigating out to the world map and selecting the icons for Eyevea and then The Scholarium.) Enter the Wing of the Indrik via the now-accessible door on the bottom floor of the Scholarium Main Hall.

The Final Task[edit]

Speak to the Indrik, and he will congratulate you on completing his challenges. He will then ask you to right a wrong he committed when he gave a small part of his power to an Indrik Fawn being pursued by a hunter. The two are now trapped in an unending chase. He tells you to use the True-Sight Lens to follow their trail, starting in Del's Claim, a delve in Auridon. You can question him further about the past incident or the other Luminaries.

You can use the Guild Portal Hub to help make your way to Del's Claim. Head down the tunnel until you reach the first fork in the path. Use the focal point you see there. An illusion of an indrik fawn will run toward you from the tunnel on the right and head into the tunnel on the left. Follow it north. As you enter a larger cavern, you should see another focal point to the right. Use it to see the fawn run down the tunnel that heads east from this room. Follow it again to use the next focal point at the next fork in the path. The illusion will run down the left tunnel this time. As the tunnel opens into a cavernous room, you will find another focal point. Using it will reveal a Portal to the Indrik's Path across the water and show the fawn's illusion slip into it. Take the portal.

You will arrive just inside the entrance to Xul-Thuxis, a delve in Murkmire. Head west down some stairs until you reach a focal point. Use it to reveal the fawn below. Follow it through the doorway to the east and then up the stairs to the south. Turn right at the top of the stairs to find the next focal point. Using this one shows the illusion crossing the bridge to the south. Follow it and enter the door to Xul-Thuxis Temple. Continue along the path to Xul-Thuxis Antechamber. Use the focal point here to reveal another Portal to the Indrik's Path. Take the portal.

Huntmaster Caynar and his wolves

This time you will arrive in Direnni Acropolis on Summerset. There is a focal point ahead, in front of the Keeper's Oath. This time using the focal point will cause the Hunter Presence illusion to appear and entreat the fawn before it leaves through the door to the Forsaken Undercroft. Continue following the path down two flights of stairs until you reach the next focal point. Using it will show the hunter and his hounds closing in on the indrik fawn. They will chase it through the door to Lauriel's Crypt. Follow through the door and cross two bridges until you catch up with Huntmaster Caynar and his two wolves, Wyla and Ulla. Defeat them or go around them.

The Indrik and the Indrik Fawn

The Blessed Indrik Fawn will be standing nearby, dazed and emanating Luminary magic. As you approach it, the Indrik Luminary will appear and tell you to dispel the ward to free the fawn of the unwanted power. Use your lens in the focal point next to the Indrik to find the Ward of the Indrik's Power right above the fawn. Dispel the ward.

The Indrik and fawn will bow. Then the fawn will approach the Indrik as if asking a question. The Indrik will agree to let the fawn seek safety in his domain. After you leave this place, the Indrik Fawn will indeed show up in the Indrik's pocket realm.

The Sigil of the Indrik[edit]

Take the Portal to the Wing of the Indrik that has appeared nearby and speak to the Indrik in his domain. He will offer you the Sigil of the Indrik and tells you to use to imbue the Scribing Altar with his strength. He will bow to you, and the sigil will appear hovering next to him and emanating magic. Take the sigil and exit to the Scholarium Main Hall.

Go upstairs to the Scribing Altar. (You'll notice Adept Irnard Rirnil has arrived and is standing nearby.) Use the sigil to activate the Fountain of the Indrik on the altar. You will see the blue magic spread from the altar down the channel and to the Indrik's door, illuminating the columns on either side with constellations. More members of the Mages Guild, Julian Catous and Votary Llaren, will be standing behind you when you turn around. You can hear them greet you, comment on what they just witnessed, and direct you to Nahlia.

Find Votary Nahlia in the Scholarium East Wing with Chronicler Firandil. She will respond as soon as you enter the room, introducing Firandil and instructing you to speak with him. Talk to the Chronicler to find out more about his task here and to hear how an indrik fawn has already led him to some grimoires and scripts.

Then talk to Nahlia to find out how her conversation with the guild's leadership went and catch her up on your adventure. Concluding this conversation will complete the quest. You can ask additional questions about Firandil and the unmarked door.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
